Vinyl Vibes & Sports Medicine

Coming to Northeast Wisconsin live from the Civic Media Studios and featuring TV and radio broadcast veteran John Minow along with the City of Green Bay's longest-serving mayor Jim Schmidt.

This is Minow and the Mayor.

And here are your hosts, John Minow

and Jim Schmidt.

Hey, thank you much.

Welcome back.

Special thanks to Lisa Hill.

You got to check in that show, Todd.

I think that's one of the best local radio shows you could ever find in regards to all the different things they cover.

But we do try to work really hard on covering interest stories in Northeast Wisconsin.

Fantastic.

Such a great

job.

Terry Barr's part of that, so big thanks to her.

Yeah.

Steve Jones, former head football coach at Kimberly, now works with the Green Bay Packers, among other entities.

And he's got that leadership workshop coming up again, coming up May 14th.

Jim, what is the time and date and place?

Boobalt's nature center right

in Appleton and that's coming up on like you said May 14th $99 and if you register within the next week It's bringing to other people.

So it's like 30 bucks a piece for a great leadership course

like 33, but yeah, that's very close

Fantastic speaking fantastic the things that people do it's Bellin sports medicine doctor Ryan Burns I literally was a little bit nervous when I saw him I was afraid he let somebody there said tell minor to bring that damn boot back But he says no I get to keep it right doc

I think that's yours.

You know, sometimes you go to a place and we have advertisers or whatever, but then we try to go to all of them or whatever.

And I walked away from your player, limped away from your place.

Just so impressed with how you deal with people and how it's it's you know normally you go to a doctor's office weird kind of nervous feeling everybody's and it's the complete opposite of your place it's like so wide open and so friendly and so whatever there's not that intimidation what is it the white coat syndrome

there

isn't any of that

you know what I get a kick out of is dookie hoser you know and I'm sure you hear that you guys are younger and younger and younger and I think that's that's wonderful and smarter and smarter and smarter too I mean you're you're you're schooling and you went to school right here

Yeah, that's right.

I did my medical school here at MCW Green Bay in town and was really honored to be a part of that first inaugural class of that campus.

So, yeah, I mean, we did a good training and we talked a little bit last

time actually about

some of the younger physicians and surgeons and part of just the new era of taking great care of patients here in Green Bay.

But the cool thing is you're not that far removed.

from

being that athlete in high school or college.

Absolutely.

All right.

So being that athlete, I think a lot of us have had experiences getting injured, seeing friends or teammates get injured.

And like you said, we want to be very welcoming, create a great experience there for the athletes and the families.

We try to do everything really efficiently and really taking great care of those athletes for sure.

And a plug for the investment you've made in the equipment too.

I mean, I toured your place out there.

didn't cut any corners.

You're talking about like upstairs.

So the training.

But the MRI

equipment.

Everything there is done top notch.

They did a great job kind of researching the.

top of the line kind of equipment for rehabilitation.

So yeah, rehab upstairs, there's a turf field rehab facility.

We have great therapists and you know, strength and conditioning coaches that work very hard to get the athletes back as quickly and safely as possible.

And diagnostics is top notch.

I mean, yeah, you're mentioning the MRI machines, but really we can do some really special things there and it's very special to be a part of.

So yeah, it's fantastic.

So with

this draft coming up,

Will you be doing some, I don't know, advertising's not the right word, but some tours showing off your facility?

Well, the clinic officially will be closed for part of that week, so we are out of that facility.

But yeah, Bellin is one of the kind of partner sponsors there of the draft here in Green Bay.

So we're going to be doing some special things.

Part of that is kind of being the medical providers and medical coverage for the event, for the draft, for the participants that are coming to see the draft and for backstage, things like that.

So there's a lot of medical tents set up that Bellin will help man and cover.

And then the Green Bay Fire Department is going to be kind of the on-call specialty there, too, for us.

So yeah, it should be a good time.

And that's right around the corner here.

Right.

It is.

I mean, it's amazing.

If the numbers hold true, that's, what, the size of three games, right?

Yeah, I mean, at once.

Yeah, I think what was the, in Detroit, it was a couple hundred thousand.

Like almost three.

Yeah, so that.

that is probably triple a game day and you know um you know so crowd management parking those all sorts of things come into play I think once people get into the event venue it's going to be impressive and a great time so um I think I think it'll be it will go off without a hitch but I think it's going to be a good time one

thing about you guys so I don't want people to get the wrong you don't have to be an athlete that got injured playing a sport to come to your guy I mean anybody I don't care what your problems are I just want to make sure it's

not

like you know some guy who you know gets hurt on his construction job site well that's you gotta be

athletes go there not the case at all.

Not the case that's a good good point.

Any musculoskeletal condition we see people from you know honestly like six months one year you know little kids getting injured to 90 year olds you know so we do see the full

full spectrum there of athletes or you know ages and athletes injuries.

But I will say

this though.

You kind of treat people.

I just want you know just what other people around when I was getting examined for my Achilles or whatever.

It's like you almost like treat them like an athlete in the way that you're not like a doctor of whatever you're like okay this is your job or this is what you do how do we get you back to that.

That's the part that I was hearing that was really cool.

Yeah certainly I think that that's

plays into the way that we treat people and our patients.

And I think there's a great attention to detail of getting people back to what they want to do, what they love, their jobs, and things that they love.

So yeah, I think that is a good point.

So we have Mark on here once in a while, and I know quite a few people that work at Bell.

Tell me about your career path, people who are listening that.

I mean, you seem really happy with your job.

We're so glad you stayed in this community.

I mean, I'm sure you have opportunities pretty much anywhere.

Yeah, so I guess just a little bit about my training and career path there.

Like I said, I did my medical school.

My undergraduate was also here in state.

I was at UW-Madison.

OK, is this true or false story?

Because you went to school with his daughter.

That's correct.

And he was saying that you cheated off her in tests.

Yes or no?

We didn't share time in her test taking.

I was in my clinical years by the time that she was there.

But

medical school was here, MCW Green Bay.

my residency in fellowship down in South Bend, Indiana.

So family medicine trained, Memorial Hospital there.

And then I stayed in town for the Notre Dame Sports Medicine Fellowship.

Really enjoyed that experience, really immersed into the sports medicine culture.

And then, yeah, had a couple connections and great opportunities to come back here into town.

I'm sure, I mean, lots of folks here know Dr. Jim Eben.

He's a great mentor and a true friend.

The that was kind of the the biggest thing that drew me back into town was actually Belling the great things

that

they do the you know the relationships that they have the history they have here in town so Yeah, I was really really happy and honored to come back here in town

I've been here for you know going on now three years, so it's been fantastic when you're in

high school Did you when you're 14 15?

We're all decided what we're gonna do kind of in our minds Is this what you had in your mind

or was that in your parents mind?

Yeah

Yeah, I mean I think well if you ask my parents like when I was a kid I probably been a veterinarian, you know I love love animals love taking you know So I had an interest in medicine, you know just taking care of people my mom's a cat scan x-ray tech So it was exposed to the field in general of medicine

But no, I mean, I think we talked a little bit last time.

I actually never had a significant injury.

I kind of was just exposed to the field or just exposed to the idea of it.

I kind of, even through med school, I spent some time with Dr. Evans, so I was a little bit more exposed to that.

I don't know that I could say in high school or middle school that I knew that I was going to be doing this, but I think as I went through undergrad and med school, it became clear that I liked this field of sports medicine for a lot of the reasons we talked about, getting people back, keeping people healthy and active.

I would have used that in high school just for the girls.

You

know?

By the way, I'm going to be a doctor.

Did

you ever use that?

No.

I mean, I think you crystallize your career path probably more in undergrad.

You know, I think some people go solely to undergrad for what they want to do, but I think a lot of people don't know.

And you know, I went to Madison to get a great education.

And then I think you kind of crystallize your career path from there.

You know, MCW, one of their goals is to retain talent here.

And that's not their top goal.

Obviously their top goal is to get you guys out of medical school and become doctors.

But I'm glad that's working.

And it doesn't work for everyone, but I mean, it worked for you.

That is a great point.

I think they do a good job of recruiting local.

local students.

So I think it has worked out for them very well.

You know, we actually was just there on campus for an event last week and we were looking at the graduation years and we could point out multiple people that are still here and in town and practicing and successful.

So, you know, I think their model has worked very well and getting young, great physicians back here in town and hopefully here for a very long time.

What's your hardest class?

Med school.

Yeah.

These

guys don't

have

hard classes.

Isn't the hardest class getting in?

Yeah, I mean There's challenges to getting in anywhere for any school for you know whether it's med school dental school any you know professional schools college is Challenging but thinking about med school.

I guess I would say Physiology is challenging anatomy is challenging in ways because I mean you're doing some some dissections and anatomy and learning everything very quickly I like the anatomy the physiology is a little challenging because it's a little bit more

scientific, and there's just a lot that goes into the physiology that was a little challenging, at least at first, but that jumps out.

Pharmacology was always a little challenging.

I was just

curious about that.

Yeah.

I don't think he had a hard time writing about it.

They don't.

I just remember like nine of them.

You know what I mean?

I just... Van's general math

was hard.

I just remember going as a parent, and they just... And Huntscores did say, because the hard part's over.

You know, you're here.

And now our job is to get you, you know, graduated.

So, but they're all,

every class is hard.

You know, that's why we never got it.

Can I

ask this question?

What is kinesiology?

Cause there was a basketball team when I was doing Green Bay basketball.

That's when you sneeze, isn't it?

UIC, UIC, every guy on their team.

It said their major was kinesiology.

What is kinesiology?

So kinesiology, I think, is essentially the study of human movement.

So kinesiology, that's actually funny you mentioned that, because my major in undergrad was actually biology.

And I think if I could go back, I would actually have done kinesiology, a little bit more about movement, exercise, general kind of science in that way.

Yeah, it's a it's a very common field.

We're the guy yesterday who's major in college was biology as well.

It only makes great beer.

So

That's

that's that's what we ended up doing.

So it's awesome.

Yeah So what are your plans?

I mean your young guy you

could write your own ticket Couldn't you I make anywhere in the country?

Especially, you know having worked here because everybody's gonna look at Green Bay.

Oh, it's work with the Packers.

Yeah, I mean you could write your own ticket right now couldn't you sports is

Good field.

Yeah, I mean I have no interest or intention of ever leaving here.

I love Bellin I love Green Bay.

I love taking care of our high school athletes So I mean plans in general in the next five years or so is just taking great care of those athletes Being here as a resource for the community and keeping keeping Bellin on

top when you said taking care of great athletes in

there you're one of

them

Why's the floor wet,

Todd?

I don't know, Margo.

Dr. Ryan Burns, Bell Sports Medicine, back with more right after

this.

Hey, welcome back, man.

I'll

tell you what.

We are talking all fun stuff for the next hour and a half.

I mean, we've been talking really fun stuff now, but it's going to take to a different level.

We got Todd Magnus in here, rock and roll and national record store day.

Just why do you know what this is doctor

this is a turntable

Thank you for knowing that

Okay, I'm gonna be honest

you're wearing the coolest kicks of any way that comes in here

just some Jordans tell me about what do you guys got going Jordan 11 so it's a fun kind of

semi-tradition that we have at Titletown with my team.

We wear Jordans on Fridays, so we call it Fry Jays.

Nice!

We're Dr. Ryan Burns, Bell & Sports Medicine.

We're going to go to Todd Magnuson coming in, and the man, the legend, Spencer Nolan Young, the greatest artist in America, just walked in and over the next hour and a half basically.

He is going to paint a couple of things in honor of the NFL draft and in honor of the Packers history.

He's going to paint a couple of things live for us right here in the studio.

And it will be shocking as far as what you're going to see.

And just got a text here, Ryan for mayor from Tory.

Where do you live, Ryan?

You

live in the city?

Yeah, Depeer.

And that's not I

voted for Jim.

Every time 16 years as mayor, I hosted his reelection

campaign and stuff like that.

That's

true.

I voted for him every year and he knew I was lying every year because I didn't know that where I lived in deep here.

We couldn't

vote.

But

he did host events.

Hey, so the draft's coming in.

We're going to have, you know, a lot of people here.

You do a lot.

the Bell and Sports Medicine place, work with the athletes in our community.

Any concerns with that number of people or anything you want to keep your eye on, any advice you have for all the fans that are coming as a doctor?

Yeah, I mean, I think similar to any game day, of course, if you're if you're coming come early, you know, generally don't want to fight crowds if you don't have

to.

I don't think it's going to be that kind of a crowd.

I mean, if Detroit only had like Detroit had like one arrest in three days, I don't think it's the normal.

Packer Vikings game type of crowd.

Do you know, I mean, that's a good point.

I think people are coming to enjoy the event to enjoy the facilities.

There's things within the venue that are going to be really, you know, cool and special.

You know, title town is itself.

The district is going to put on several events there throughout the whole experience.

So, yeah, I mean, that's a good point.

I think, you know, people are coming from out of town to just enjoy the event.

Maybe not as maybe not as.

Crazy as a game day, I guess.

It's

not as intense,

right?

It's the draft.

I

mean, it's like tall ships.

Lights come in, enjoy the city, and see what it's all about.

I would agree.

I'm really looking forward to, I think it's going to be a great opportunity for the city to show it off a little bit and Lambeau Field.

It just doesn't seem like it's going to be this 250 number.

This morning, you know, I was reading the paper and see the hotel rooms available.

Yeah,

but still, I think it's going to be great.

I know that

made sense.

So people are really waiting to see

how the

weather is

going to be.

That is

true.

They think people are intimidated by potential Green Bay weather.

If you're not from here,

that'll be OK.

Bring your park.

Bring your range.

Absolutely.

Your shorts.

All three in

one day.

That one girl we had, I'm coming from Appleton last week.

She said, this is weird.

I just experienced three separate

wet or

serious weather patterns

before in the drive.

It

was snowing when I left then it was sleeting and now it's raining

Yeah, I know I think the weather will be good, but they

one quick thing though when you guys deal with these young athletes Okay, and we're talking with Steve Jones was a Legendary coach at Kimberly you guys have become such a big part of those programs I mean when I was in high school you'd have an assistant coach that knew how to tape ankles or whatever and that was the extent of it Wow, have you guys taken that to a different level, huh?

Absolutely.

So it really has grown, you know, involvement.

And now we all know and hear a little bit more about the great professionals, athletic trainers that are out at the schools.

They're kind of our eyes and ears out at the schools and can take great care of the athletes, coaches.

A lot of times they're there for the community teachers and things like that as well as just kind of a first set of eyes on anything.

So they're great professionals and partners.

They do a lot.

And sometimes it's unseen and unheard, but they're doing a great job taking care of these kids and people in the community.

Something that, you know, a lot of our schools, we also have like strength and conditioning professionals or coaches.

So it is kind of a whole team out there at the schools, which is, I guess, probably over the last 10, 15 years becoming the norm, but still, you know, still growing.

Let me ask you, Dr. Ryan Bellen Sports.

Jordy Nelson who's gonna be here this week or next week.

I should say doesn't want his kids playing contact football at a younger age Concussions and I don't know if you have kids You don't want some play, you know flag football, you know, you'll learn learn the drills anymore

those cushion kind of helmets now

right in thoughts on that

You're just talking about like kids playing contact that young ages right like

yeah for fifth sixth grade.

Yeah, I mean I think

I think a lot of times it's actually, you know, if they're

if they're smaller, I think sometimes at those young ages, there can be great disparities in sizes and abilities.

So I think if it's done safely at a young age, it's reasonable.

They're wearing the appropriate protective devices.

Some parents or even athletes just decide that it's not right for them at the young ages.

I think tackle football programs are done well here in Northeast Wisconsin and across the country, kind of in that middle school, seventh, eighth, leading up to high school.

So I mean, I think a lot of times we think about concussions We think about the the big bad injuries or you know things that take a long time to recover I think you know concussions is one one of the aspects There are a lot of other injuries that come with you know any sport, you know basketball, you know lots of kind of ACL We had a young lady

here about a month or so ago So how's it going your daughter and volleyball?

Well, we're just at a tournament and she was going for a loose ball and fell and smashed They're knocked out all over front teeth.

Yeah, I mean injuries will have injuries will happen.

Yeah, so I think parents

know we generally try and I have kids so you know and three girls but so they're not necessarily probably gonna play contact football but I think a lot of parents you know have concerns but I think I think done safely reasonable good coaches good programs

that's key the good coaches

yeah I mean it can't be the

old

school of

line up and just smack your heads

against the other our drills and understandings about

kind of what's best for the kids is has changed.

So I do think a lot of programs and coaches do it very, very well and at a high level.

So personally, I don't have necessarily concerns about it.

I think, you know, if it's done well done safely, it can be a great, great thing for kids.

And obviously football is, is huge here up in Northeast

Wisconsin.

We're running short here by a couple of things.

When I was a kid, little league, you weren't allowed to throw a curveball because they said it would hurt your arm.

And the other thing was don't lift weights until you're like 17.

Those are out the window now, right?

Pretty much, yeah.

I think those are, you know, pitch counts are important for the young athletes.

I think lifting, very heavy weights, you can set up for kind of like apophysitis or growth plate type injuries.

I think the original concern was like growth arrest, and I think that's been just debunked.

No, it's not.

That happened to me.

That's why my legs are so short, because of my growth plates, because I used to do squats when I was like 11.

We could you could use me as a test book type thing if you want me to come in a test case.

Would you want to do that?

Sure.

Okay.

All right

Dr. Michael side to

balance sports Madison mark Houston is sleeping in today couldn't get up I don't know what's going on with him, but man you do a great job filling in Thanks,

Dr. I'm here

and cool.

It should tell mark to get some cool shoes.

We will all right.

Thanks

For WGBW and WISS News, I'm Lisa Hale.

UWA Local 291 has been on strike at the Cummings Plant in Oshkosh for four weeks.

On Saturday, union leaders will hold a rally at 11-18 High Avenue in Oshkosh from 11 a.m.

until 1 p.m.

Union officials, national union supporters, and area leaders such as Winnebago County Executive Elect Gordon Hintz will be on hand for speeches and to provide support.

The workers are striking because their contract at Cummings expired on January 29th.

They say the company is dragging its feet to extend or renegotiate the contract, leaving the 90 workers in limbo.

For Severe Weather Awareness Week in Wisconsin, meteorologist Brittany Merlot tells us the best place to take cover in any situation.

When the sirens go off or an emergency alert pops up on your phone, telling you to take shelter from a tornado warning, do you know where to go?

Seek out the lowest level, like a basement or ground floor.

Then, pick a spot that's got plenty of walls between you and the outside.

Maybe a closet, a bathroom, or under the stairs.

Most tornadoes tend to be weak.

They'll rip through the upper levels and tear down exterior walls as the roof blows off.

Flying debris then becomes missiles, so you'll want to get under something or cover yourself with a couch cushion.

Anything.

Get low and cover your head.

And if you're driving, pull over and go inside the nearest building for shelter.

Don't stay in your car or go under an overpass.

You're actually safer getting into a ditch or a ravine.

Oshkosh Craft Beer Week continues through Sunday.

They're about four hours old, because that's all I had them on yesterday.

So those are nice, clean.

I'm going to show them.

Winged shoes.

Let's

also

say guys that Dr. Ryan Burns was awesome to replace me this morning.

Although I couldn't sleep in because I'm supposed to get a breakfast here in about five minutes down in our state convention.

But thank you guys for everything.

Yes, I don't have a pair of Jordans any longer.

they do a great job.

Well,

wingtips are awesome.

We're just giving you

a hard time.

Yeah,

yeah,

they're awesome.

They'll tour me warm all the time.

But not brown.

Not brown.

No, nobody wears brown.

Hey, Mark, he said, thanks for sending over such great young doctors our way.

Yeah, he's

impressive,

boy.

Yeah.

Well, we're very appreciative of everything you guys have done and just getting the word out to the committee.

I think that's what's awesome about

When you guys came on from day one to now and the continued in the future, it's an awesome just what you guys have done.

Not even just Green Bay, but like you said, I'm down in Oshkosh right now, Appleton, Marinette.

You guys just take the Northeast Wisconsin to a new level.

So thank you.

Did you hear what happened to me yesterday?

Mark?

No.

I

had to go to my doctors and two rivers for my regular.

thing, okay, go over my results, blood work, yadda, yadda, yadda, yadda.

So I've got the boot on that I got from you guys, okay?

And I get it wedged between the brake and the gas pedal as I'm going down 43, okay?

Then I take 310, the back road, I'm thinking, okay, this will be better.

So I can't take my foot off the gas and it's going like 75 and I'm not even joking about this, okay?

So when I finally got into the parking lot at the hospital and I wedged my foot out,

Stepped out.

It's all I could smell was burnt brake fluid So I may have burnt out my brakes driving down because I didn't take the boot off when I drove

Only John I don't right.

I'm just saying

so many other options, but Mark Houston You're the best and I guarantee you Spencer could make make your win wing tips look good for next week.

So you got some credit

I think Spencer could do anything with any parachutes.

That's no lie.

Well,

you're saying it's a lot easier with those wingtips you're wearing.

I think he should do it.

I think he should show up next Friday at their thing and wear those.

Mark Houston,

you're the

best.

Bell and Sports Medicine, thanks for everything you do, my brother.

Thanks, guys.

See you next week.

OK, buddy.

And we're Todd Magnuson, Rock and Roll Land, National Records Store Day.

Morning.

Buddy.

No, I'm not even joking about this when I this morning We're kind of screwing around a little bit and I put that magic when you're waiting for that song come on you And you're wait

it's magical.

Yeah, it's the connection.

It's connection.

It's connecting to the music for sure You're making it happen.

It's

awesome, man Love it.

I mean this just brings back so many great memories You know Jim and I were talking about you know old records that you got in the closet or the basement or whatever whatever and

You know, you sell them for 50 cents, maybe, and then somebody will see one that you think is, you know, not even worth that.

Not even worth that.

Kingston Trio.

And somebody will be like, what are some of the determining factors?

Because you kind of got to be a really serious into that to understand what's good and what's not

in regard price-wise, right?

At this point, now I can look at a collection and know.

Condition, obviously, is everything.

When you say condition, do you mean the cover or the actual album?

Both.

The record's got to be playable.

I can live with some condition of the cover, as long as it's not too destroyed or water damaged.

But if it's got ring wear and a little split here and there, as long as the record's playable, it could be a player copy versus a collectible copy.

Got it.

So the condition could swing $5 to $20 as far as a resale value.

You know, if it has little feelers on it, little scratches, you know, there's potential to skip.

Surface marks sometimes are okay as long as, you know, sometimes that's just from going in and out of the sleeve.

But, you know, it's really condition is, especially when it's used, you know, condition is everything.

You know, if you want to, somebody's collecting Beatles records, they don't want old beat up Beatles records, you know, maybe a young kid that's just getting into it.

once that $5 player copy of a Beatles record that has, you know, Lucy's name written

all over it or

something, you know, and they put little beards on the Beatles and, you know, that kind of thing is kind of funny sometimes and people write their names obviously on records back in the day, but that really is, you know, goes from...

A pristine copy to a player copy is so I

was gonna bring some of my wife's in but she's got on the Bobby Sherman ones and I love you

Sometimes I think that's great.

I'm

sorry.

I think I'm Sean Cassidy

part of the story of that record right and I think it's fun sometimes having I've found love letters and records and somebody wrote on all the lyrics to a song in a record you find ticket stubs I find other little

Accessories that's cool.

Yeah.

Yeah, so it's fun.

I keep that stuff intact with absolutely I

was telling you before we went on and I just I seem to See your store more often in the media whether it's online or in these city pages or you know And I don't know if it's because I know you more now or if I just notice it more now, but it's just this isn't

It's just I think every year it's been growing and growing and ever since we moved into the bigger location

I see new faces every day, you know, somebody's like, how long have you been here?

And I said, we've been in business almost 14 years, but at the new store a little over two, this will be our third record store day at the new location.

And it's as many as regulars we have, we're getting new people constantly.

Or a

Todd Magnuson Rock and Roll and National Record Store

day located on military.

Like this young doctor that was just here.

He's like, you know.

Where are you located?

And this guy has a turntable.

So I suspect I'll see him at some point.

Absolutely.

I think you will.

And I think that's really cool.

I see that constantly.

And then I'm a good, like my social media presence is there.

We try to do engaging posts and try to do positive things and try to do sales and just do fun things.

What would you like?

Okay, you've seen everybody bring in and everybody thinks together What gets you excited when somebody says hey, I've got these old Albums there are my uncles and he you know moved to the assisted living in are these worth anything?

What

do you see where you still get excited?

I get excited honestly I get excited about every collection that comes in okay?

Sometimes they have to be the bad news and say, this is just not what I can use.

And I'm pleasant and nice about it.

I don't want to just say, hey, this is garbage.

But sometimes I'll try to explain the difference between what, because sometimes they say, oh, I looked on eBay, but they don't really know what they're looking at versus I said, well, this is the difference.

And I'm always fair with my offers.

And sometimes,

99% of the time people take my offer because it's stuff I need and I can sell it.

It's a lot of work to try to list 100 records online and it could take six months to sell.

Good, nice

texture.

I just started my vinyl collection again.

Thanks to Todd and his store.

I love the used album bin, especially on a retirement income.

Terry.

Nice.

We should do like that TV thing where they come in and you know, they kind of watch him barter with the

guy

because people bring in I'm sure people bring in some stuff that is a real fine Paul.

Yes.

Well, well, then you know, there's there's guys too now that are getting you know, there's an older guy that comes down from like ripping area and You know, he says I got like 10,000 records So he brings me like three to 400 records every couple months and he's like oh, I just want like three bucks a record

But I'm like, you got way better stuff.

You know, I can give you more than that because there's records that, you know, he has $100 records in his collection, you know, but he's like, what

would be if I can just ask you, what would be like what we would consider a common album that would have it?

Because, you know, it's like, OK, the Beatles only released, you know, 500 of these are in those, obviously, because it's a scarcity.

But what would be something where even though we might have had in our collection that it's like, OK, this one stands out.

Something common that stands out.

I mean obviously still the Beatles Bob Dylan has gotten huge right now So everybody you know people have those kind of records, but then you're looking at every collection around All right,

we guys send her a quick break when we come back You're gonna be the DJ you're gonna play the turntable styles and you got to hit the post

Can you do that?

Yeah.

All

right.

He's

going to find

out.

He's very

competent.

He is.

Todd Magnuson.

Spencer is in progress.

This could be fun, man.

Tune in.

Look at Curly Lamb will come into life.

Look at Curly Lamb will come into life.

Another one, thank you for supporting the arts.

Another one, working at the transfer station.

Records were the biggest find of people throwing things away.

I've got many, many milk crates of records.

Todd?

Well, you know, I'm getting some new people that literally threw their records away.

Right.

And in the 90s, you know, everybody was like, they're taking up space.

CDs was the thing.

And they literally threw their records away.

And now they're buying records back.

And I was telling John that

We were one of those people that, you know, we get married and you had these crates of records.

And people would come to, if you're going to sell them, and they would go through them so fast.

But

has there ever been anything not designed for that purpose, but work

better

than

milk crates

with albums?

Milk crates, still.

Perfect.

Yeah.

But

boy, they knew

what they were looking for.

I still have stacks of milk crates that we took from the dairy.

Right.

And then the...

Milk companies kind of redesigned the milk crate so people would stop stealing them.

So they don't quite fit records.

No kidding.

Some of

the old ones.

Yeah.

Oh, wow.

Anyway, it's, yes, there was so many people that did that.

And, and you look back and think, yeah, but whatever, everybody did it, right?

We all seem to achieve.

So, yeah.

But we're talking about the things that come into that kind of still get you excited.

Are you still, I mean, you know, because sometimes people think, oh, I love.

Whatever, whatever, and then it becomes a job, then it becomes a bit, and you kind of lose that spark that brought you into it to begin with?

You haven't

lost it?

I haven't, no, because every day something new comes in, and I still get excited about every collection, honestly, you know, because you never know what's in there, and somebody that thinks, oh, I have Beatles records or Elvis records, that's fine, but sometimes they have better stuff.

you know, if they have like a Miles Davis record, that's a blue note or you know, some of this jazz stuff that's

even more rare.

Jazz has gotten big, hasn't it?

It's big.

You know, even younger, you know, 12, 13-year-old kids are buying jazz records.

That's

awesome.

It is awesome, because when I, I was aware of jazz records when I was that age, but there was too much rock to buy back then.

Right.

You know, I had to buy HDC and rock, you know, all the rock and roll stuff that was coming out.

Times like jazz was...

You know,

right, right?

I don't know.

I had twenty dollars to buy records, you know, and

I could buy, you know, two or three records and I wasn't going to buy it.

You

know, it's funny.

I used to, you know how you kind of have a certain thing in your mind?

How expensive something is because you're based on something else.

I always based something on the fact that an album was four dollars.

That's what the albums were.

Four dollars.

I used to buy them.

So everything you looked at was based on a $4 album.

So this is $8.

It was oh my god, that's two albums.

Exactly right.

I

remember not buying like Kiss Double Platinum because it was probably $8 because it was a double record and I only had $5 I'm like, oh man, I got a way to I was trying to beg my mom into Yep, you know, can I get extra money and just wait?

It was that impacts of baseball cards because pop bottles were two cents a piece and if I brought back five pop bottles, I could buy two packs of cards.

Yeah

That's interesting to think back to what sounds

like little hopes for the prairie

right bring your

back pop bottles Yeah,

I'm excited on the weekends to go to town right and you saved your money for a couple weeks to go and then you just you'd start And if you had

that money to buy an album or something like that even a 45 for

me anything But it

was like Ben you were so careful.

I gotta make sure of this purchase

Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah, it was because that was it.

That was your

watch.

Yeah.

But you know

another

time because he's going to play this.

We got five minutes.

We have more.

Oh, when we come back, he's going to do that.

Oh, all right.

No, no, no, no, he's not worried.

All

right.

Spencer, how are we doing back there, buddy?

Grab the mic.

Let us know.

This is Spencer Nolan Young.

He is live painting a couple of amazing things in overly Packers history and the NFL draft of making progress.

And now he's painting with a football cleat.

He is painting this with a football cleat.

Ladies and gentlemen, not a brush, no lie.

A little bit of everything.

So

and Curly Lambo is coming to life as we is he.

Oh,

you can watch the whole thing on our stream too.

So make sure and watch it.

It's amazing.

It is amazing with a football and cleats.

Yes.

That's what he's using to paint with.

Okay, all right Some people when he'd be a great guy to design album covers

There's some artists that will do hand-painted album covers and do you have them?

There's people out there artists out there that will do like a hundred different album covers for a special release or something

Oh, that's cool.

Yeah.

Oh very cool.

Okay.

We always ask this first album you ever personally bought yourself

I think it was kiss alive.

Okay.

They got

probably 78, 79.

Yeah.

10 years

old.

Okay.

That album's probably out a little bit.

But kiss, kiss alive was my first, first.

Mine was Sergeant Barry

Sanders, the Greenberg, the

ballad of the

Greenberg.

How about yours?

Liberace.

No, no, no, no.

The Schmidt brothers.

That was given

to me.

Yeah, I

found a Schmidt brothers eight track that I have at the store.

I hung it up on the wall.

Are you eight track?

Oh, yeah.

Is there a team picture?

It's a

whole picture.
